Obama and the left wing kooks SHUT DOWN the FBI’s interrogation of the Boston Bomber..

Of course they did…it’s all Obama’s plan to protect any and all Islamic Jihadist Terrorists.

Just In:: The underground economy has hit 2 trillion dollars in estimated raw numbers…the highest ever measured on record…with Obamacare coming down the pike, and taxes going up, more unreported income than ever is being masked by the economy…figure out what taxes are being lost to pay for the deficit and growth of the economy and you will get sick…this is what happens when regulations, and taxes go up…PEOPLE GET CREATIVE and society loses further….

Markie needs to re-read that list he posted…I read it…and none of those on his list were recorded as “terrorist attacks”…I didn’t see any indication that those events he listed had anything to do with terrorists…but then, what do you expect…the left are still trying to cliam the boston bombing WAS NOT a terrorist attack.

Hey, Mark, how about including the guy who robbed the 7-11 and shot the clerk…if it happened when Bush was president, it had to be a terrorist plot, no?

Notice when the right wing kook is confronted they change the subject or play sock puppet games….f-off!

A member of the independent panel that reviewed the September attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya is calling attempts by Fox News and congressional Republicans to blame Hillary Clinton for the deaths of U.S. personnel “total BS!

Fox News has been promoting Republican attacks blaming Hillary Clinton for security cutbacks prior to the September 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya. But Richard Shinnick, a member of the five-person State Department Accountability Review Board that reviewed the Benghazi attacks last fall, says such claims are unfounded.

“Hillary Clinton was never in the loop for that,” said Shinnick, a former 27-year foreign services officer. “It just doesn’t make any sense to anybody who understands the State Department. They all know that the Secretary of State was never in that chain of responding to Benghazi, it just wasn’t so.”

On April 25, the Republican chairmen of five House committees released a report that stated Clinton’s congressional testimony that she was unaware of requests for additional security at the Benghazi compound was false, citing a cable signed by Clinton that responded to one such request by calling for security cuts. Fox News, which has frequently harped on the Benghazi attack to criticize the Obama administration, quickly promoted the GOP attacks, calling them a “Benghazi Bombshell.”

The Board’s finding regarding the security decisions in Benghazi, however, was limited to Diplomatic Security professionals and the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. The Committees’ review shows that the leadership failure in relation to security and policy in Benghazi extended to the highest levels of the State Department, including Secretary Clinton.

But Shinnick says the claim that Clinton’s signature on the cable indicates her involvement misrepresents how the State Department operates. He said many directives and orders come through that office without the secretary personally reviewing each.

“Every single cable going out is signed ‘Clinton,’ it is the normal procedure,” Shinnick said. “Millions of cables come into the operation center every year, not thousands, millions. And they are all addressed Hillary Clinton.”

“So you can make a story that Hillary saw a cable and didn’t act on it or sent a cable out; it’s all bullsh-tt, it’s all total bullsh-tt,” Shinnick stressed. “I can’t be any clearer than that. I read those stories and fortunately or unfortunately the people on the ARB understood that. If you don’t want to believe that, then go chase a story.”

Specifically, the ARB report cited four State Department officials for criticism, but did not mention Clinton:

The Board found that certain senior State Department officials within two bureaus in critical positions of authority and responsibility in Washington demonstrated a lack of proactive leadership and management ability appropriate for the State Department’s senior ranks in their responses to security concerns posed by Special Mission Benghazi, given the deteriorating threat environment and the lack of reliable host government protection.

However, the Board did not find that any individual U.S. Government employee engaged in misconduct or willfully ignored his or her responsibilities, and, therefore did not find reasonable cause to believe that an individual breached his or her duty so as to be the subject of a recommendation for disciplinary action.

“I stand by that, I signed the report, the four people, that’s where we tracked it through,” Shinnick said.

Shinnick’s past foreign service has included serving as deputy executive director of the Bureau of European and Canadian Affairs and deputy director for operations of the Foreign Buildings Office, which is now the Overseas Buildings Operations.

He noted that so many directives are issued and decisions made under Clinton that she or any Secretary of State are unable to personally review each.

“She has undersecretaries, there’s deputy secretaries, they have assistant secretaries,” he said. “The assistant secretaries are presidential appointees specifically responsible for those duties. I am sure there are people who would like to connect the Secretary of State to that. There could be a shortage of drinking water somewhere and [critics would say] ‘why doesn’t Hilary send water?’

Shinnick’s comments are consistent with several media reports finding that all such messages from the State Department to diplomatic facilities abroad are sent out over the secretary’s signature.

Another State Department veteran who agreed with Shinnick’s view is Michael A. Newton, a professor at Vanderbilt University Law School and former senior advisor to the Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes from 1999 to 2002.

“There are many, many layers over any action between the secretary and any desk officer or a staff officer,” said Newton. “It takes a lot of effort to get something personally in front of the secretary. It’s a very complex

@Chriscee

THE FBI went as far as they could investigating the suspect WITHOUT breaking the rules of the constitution(you know that thing that Republicans claim they love more then the bible itself)

That’s why it’s hard taking the Republicans seriously when they profess their love of the constitution as the greatest document ever written by mankind, it seem they easily forget how much they love it when it doesn’t suit their agenda.

But Shinnick says the claim that Clinton’s signature on the cable indicates her involvement misrepresents how the State Department operates. He said many directives and orders come through that office without the secretary personally reviewing each.

Dosnt say much for her does it, not reading what she’s signing. So you could have put anything in front of her and she would have put her name to it without looking? That is as bad as lying.

so, Jeffie, where was that posted on MSNBC’s webpage? lol

There was many in the list I gave that were on par with the Big 5 that FOX news/Republicans like pushing that somehow only happen on Obama’s watch(bombings that didn’t go exactly right(Underwear Bomber, Times Square Bomb), Muslim people doing random shootings(Fort Hood, Arkansas Recruit Office shooting) so I stand by my statement FOX news and a few misguided Republicans are cherry picking their stats(while completely ignoring 9-11)

Wrong…there was nothing in that list that indicated any one of them were terrorist attacks…like I said, why stop at those, why not take every criminal act committed during Bush’s term and claiming it was a terrorist attack…

Coffee Steve

It’s official, Syria (Like this is a shock) IS using Chemical Weapons.

Hello UN are you there? Hello? You Awake?

Well let’s look at my list and I will divide it among Bombings and Shooting only from people who are Muslim

Bombing

1. The 2001 shoe bomb plot was a failed bombing attempt that occurred on American Airlines Flight 63 a Boeing 767 flying from Charles De Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France, to Miami International Airport in Miami, Florida, United States, with 197 passengers and crew on December 22, 2001?

2. Oct 26, 2006 A pair of improvised explosive devices are thrown at the Mexican Consulate in New York City. The fake grenades were filled with black powder and detonated by fuses, causing very minor damage. Police investigate the connection between this and a similar attack against the British Consulate in New York in 2005.

3. March 6, 2008 New York City. A bomb goes off outside an empty military recruiting station in Times Square

4. April 25, 2008 San Diego. A pipe bomb exploded inside a Federal Express distribution facility in San Diego. The blast did little damage to the building a second pipe bomb was found the parking lot and was safely defused. No one was killed or injured in the blast

5. 2008 May 4: Multiple pipe bombs exploded at 1:40 am at the Edward J. Schwartz United States Courthouse in San Diego causing “considerable damage” to the entrance and lobby and sending shrapnel two blocks away, but causing no injuries. The F.B.I. is investigating links between this attack and an April 25 explosion at the FedEx building also in San Diego.

Gun Fire

1. July 4, 2002: An Egyptian gunman opens fire at an El Al ticket counter in Los Angeles International Airport, killing two Israelis before being killed himself.

2. The Beltway sniper attacks took place during three weeks in October 2002 in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Ten people were killed and three other victims were critically injured in several locations throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and along Interstate 95 in Virginia.

3. 2006 July 28: Seattle Jewish Federation shooting, Naveed Afzal Haq, an American citizen of Pakistani descent, kills one woman and shoots five others at the Jewish Federation building in Seattle. During the shooting, Haq told a 911 dispatcher that he was angry with American foreign policy in the Middle East.

And Just for the Hell of it Crazy Jihadists driving

1. 2006 March 5: Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar injured 6 when he drove an SUV into a group of pedestrians at UNC-Chapel Hill to “avenge the deaths or murders of Muslims around the world”

2. 2006, August 30: Omeed Aziz Popal, originally of Afghanistan, is alleged to have intentionally struck 18 pedestrians in the San Francisco Bay Area with his black Honda Pilot SUV on August 30, 2006, and faces a murder charge and 19 counts of attempted murder. Popal was 29 at the time of the attack. Several major news organizations have described his attack as a “rampage”

There must be two different Fox News feeds…the one we watch and see, and the one lefties tell us they’re saying…lol

Mark

It should be noted their was a couple bombings(mostly the ones from 2008) that they haven’t found suspects yet that I added to my list. I could only imagine how Obama would get eaten alive for not solving any bombing cases from FOX news.

Coffee Steve

@Mark
Obama would get eaten alive for not solving any bombing cases from FOX news.

Yep, and I’m thinking back on all the positive stories about Bush on MSNBC

Just teasing Mark

Have a great day everyone, were going to Taylorsville Lake nearby and enjoy the afternoon

Peace

Stan T.

Gee Mark,

“And Just for the Hell of it Crazy Jihadists driving.”

I thought you lefties were all against profiling? Omeed Aziz Popal was found “not guilty by reason of insanity”…and because he’s was born in Afghanistan he automatically must be a Jihadist? he can’t just be crazy as the court determined?
